Inheriting the proud DNA of the Z series, this camera features a large inner diameter of 55mm and a short flange focal distance of 16mm – delivering incredibly vibrant images and three-dimensionality without the little imperfections. Capture spontaneous life moments with the intuitively-designed and comfortable camera body that feels like an extension of your hand. It is almost as nimble and compact in size as your passport – though not as thin!

Perfect for adventurers, wanderers, foodies and café-dwellers, slip the Z 50 into your bag the next time you go exploring and share your experiences with the world.

Take it easy with the outstanding operability of the Z 50. An intuitive user interface means quick access to personalised settings and modes instantly through the i menu. Cleverly laid out touch keys allow you to operate this camera with one hand, even when you’re looking through the electronic viewfinder. Great for flat-lay compositions, vlogging, or even just group selfies, this camera is equipped with a 180° tilting monitor with touch operation, so you can effortlessly capture your preferred compositions. The silent mode feature lets you capture shots without disturbing your subject, perfect for weddings and stage performances.

Forget fumbling with buttons or slippery surfaces. Great on the go, the camera is equipped with an ergonomic grip for a firm grasp and easy reach across the buttons. Form meets function with its cutting-edge aesthetics and design, such as the new mode dial that allows you to easily change shooting modes in a heartbeat. Designed with portability and comfort in mind, the Z 50 features a lightweight body frame that weighs similar to a regular tablet at approximately 450g.

Capture your passion with 20.88 million effective megapixels and the EXPEED 6 image-processing engine. Adopting the same hybrid autofocus (AF) system as the Z 7 and the Z 6, the Z 50 comes equipped with one of the first Nikon CMOS sensors that incorporates phase-detection AF. With 209¹ AF points covering approximately 87% horizontally and approximately 85% vertically of the frame, easily capture moving objects, even at the periphery. For portrait shots where the clarity of the eyes matter, eye-detection AF is available and allows an intuitive selection of the intended eye focus, even when multiple people are within the frame.

Whether you’re in a low-light environment, or on a night out, an ISO sensitivity of 51200 for stills, and 25600 for videos will ensure your images come out well lit. Express yourself even further with Creative Picture Control, a mode that offers 20 different creative options to make your stills and films more dynamic. Pair the Z 50 with the NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR or NIKKOR Z DX 50-250mm f/4.5-6.3 VR to effectively reduce camera shake as both lenses come with dual detect optical vibration reduction which means every image will be sharper than ever.

NIKKOR Z DX 16-50MM F/3.5-6.3 VR

Weighing only approx. 135 g (4.8 oz), the NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR is an ideal partner for the compact Z 50. Thanks to its retractable-lens mechanism, it achieves a small and light body that’s highly portable, without sacrificing optical performance. The lens covers everything from wide-angle landscapes to portraits, all with edge-to-edge sharpness, defying expectations for a lens of this class. As you can shoot with sharp focus as close as 0.2 m^*1 (0.66 ft) from the subject, it’s also perfect for tabletop photography. The vibration reduction system offers an effect equivalent to a shutter speed 4.5 stops^*2 faster, minimizing image blur.
